SUSTAINABILITY
KJAER GROUP has a longstanding commitment to sustainability, grounded in our core philosophy and strategic framework. Our journey began in November 2003 when we joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), embracing its ten principles in the areas of environment, human rights, labour and anti-corruption.
In 2008, we formalized this focus by introducing the KJAER GROUP Way of Management (KWoM), built on the Triple Bottom Line principle, ensuring social and environmental objectives are pursued with the same rigor as financial goals. This integrated approach has been fundamental to our sustainable growth.

Today, our sustainability ambition is encapsulated in the concept “Move to Green”, which aims to create an ecosystem for green mobility and renewable energy use. This involves transitioning our fleet and product offerings toward hybrid and electric vehicles and encouraging low-impact practices within organizations. By using existing technologies and engaging relevant partners, we aim to become a model for carbon-neutral transformation.
In 2014, our MOTORCARE branches earned internationally recognized certifications: ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management). We have maintained these certifications ever since, reflecting our dedication to operational excellence and responsible business practices.
In 2024, KJAER GROUP began preparations for EU regulations by conducting a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). While CSRD reporting may no longer be mandatory for KJAER GROUP under the revised EU timeline, this will not diminish our sustainability commitment. We will continue to proactively manage our sustainability impacts, communicate transparently, and take responsible actions within our control to support a sustainable future.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2024
Each year, we report on our progress within the UNGC’s ten main areas, in line with the principles of responsible business operations. Since 2021, our annual Communication on Progress (COP) to the UN Global Compact has taken the form of our Sustainability Report.
We are currently in the process of aligning with the new UN COP reporting structure. In the meantime, you can find our Sustainability Report 2024 at unglobalcompact.org or via the link below:
